I really liked this collection. These are powerful, deeply personal and political poems about being a woman, being someone from a group which has historically been oppressed and has experienced enormous generational trauma, and also about being alive. The title poem is quite famous, but the ‘horses’, which reappear in many of the poems, can mean a lot of different things. Women's poetry from the 1970s and 80s is🔥

I liked how this built up to a situation that could go either way, and how the mythology is worked in. And the voice of the narrator.

Researching today for my actual job, the one that pays my bills.* Returning to the rich source that is the Voiceprint radio show episode on Women's Language and Literature from 1981.
I can't get over how this old #student #radio show took on the issue of #feminist editing, #nonbinary #pronouns, #intersectionality & #WomensWriting - not in exactly these terms, bc they didn't have this language yet.
*Sort of. It's contract, very part-time.

This leaves me with just my own #introduction to the whole special issue.
Abstract
This introduction to the MLO special issue “Minoritised Languages and Travel” provides an overview of the pieces in this collection in context with historical travel accounts in German about nineteenth-century Wales.Happy reading, y'alls. (For convenience, I will later post the link to the complete bundle.)

Completely shocked and utterly honoured to have found out that my book, The Lady’s Magazine and the Making of Literary History (Edinburgh University Press, 2022) has won The Robert and Vineta Colby Scholarly book prize awarded annually by the Research Society for Victorian Periodicals. #womenshistory #periodicals #romanticism #womenswriting #nineteenthcentury #eighteenthcentury

So enjoyed recording this @TheComfortableSpotPodcast with @KenSwe which is out today wherever you get your podcasts. We talked about early women’s magazines, fashion and feminism. #womenshistory #womenswriting #18thcentury

The following years saw #JonathanSwift write his masterpiece "Gulliver's Travels" and the remarkable and still shocking "A Modest Proposal" #BBCInOurTime https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00h3650
And a host of other pamphlets, poems and sermons.
Swift made enemies but also many friends, including a coterie of literary women whom he encouraged and supported, and who defended him in return after his death.

New & improved with an #Introduction hashtag!
I am a leftist late(ish)-career #academic at #UNBSJ, a small east-coast #Canadian campus in Menahkwesk (Saint John NB). I teach courses in #c18 #literature, #bookhistory, #earlymodern #womenswriting, and #SFF. Current research: #copybooks. Not too active on Twitter since our strike but now it has become impossible because of a visceral gagging reflex whenever I envision Elon Musk. Let's see where this #proboscidean takes us. Or where we can take it.

Just moved over from @Mastodon.social. I am a leftist late-career #academic at #UNBSJ, a small east-coast #Canadian campus in Menahkwesk (Saint John NB). I teach courses in #eighteenthcentury #literature, #bookhistory, #earlymodern #womenswriting, and #SFF. I was never very active on Twitter but now it has become really difficult because of a visceral gagging reflex whenever I see pictures of Elon Musk. Looking forward to seeing where this #proboscidean takes us. Or where we can take it.
